Dampening essentially operates in the same way as the old ECM system with subtle differences.
I don't mean the chance based system I mean the system of exceeding an enemies sensor strength until they were permanently disabled. There are advantages and a disadvantage to the way damps work in comparison:
Advantages:
a) One dampener still has an effect, one of the old ECM modules did absolutely nothing
b) You only have to fit one type of dampener, not 4 different types for each of the races.
c) Dual effect from dampeners
Disadvantages:
a) Your target is never completely disabled although a 60 second locktime and 10km or less locking range is basically disabled.
So 2 years after CCP got rid of the old ECM system because it was a bit shoddy we basically have the same thing today with a different name and better advantages.

I tend to agree that painters could use some kind of imaginitive change. Thing is the Rapier and Huginn are insanely useful already. Gotta be careful not to turn them into something incredibly good.
I like the fact that painters are a module that benefits the gang more than the ship itself.

Anyone claiming damps were as bad as ECM, clearly wasn't around for it.
Erm, you put enough jammers on one ship until it was permanently jammed, only way to lose the jam was to warp out. Pretty much what dampeners do except with a few major advantages.
Unless of course you think I mean the RMR ECM module on every ship with a spare midslot system. I don't, I mean the original jamming system.

Still some of you think I'm referring to the old 'chance based fit 4 multispecs on your Dominix' system. I'm not, I'm referring to the original ECM system that was in place 3 years ago.
